This goes out to you (yeah, you)
Big Mary, not the little one
Big Brooklyn (haha)
Big Y-O, what's up? (We came to kick in the door)
Ayy, I'm not gon' lie, I hate to take an L
Had me sittin' there hot like waitin' room's in hell
But I'm not gon' cry, no way to exhale
Just got me some fresh air and got me a fresh pair
Of them white-on-white Forces, yeah, summertime classics, yeah
Tryna keep them clean, but you still could get your ass kicked
So better breathe, nigga, one and then a two
I'm the one, I'm not the two, I'm the one they look up to
Haters see me coming through, gotta shut their mouth now (shh)
They huff and they puff, but couldn't blow this house down
Heard the best swimmer say, "It's 'bout controllin' your breath"
I still got the watch lookin' like it's holdin' its breath
I got the blue face, baby, full of Christian rocks
If you're grievin', keep believin', baby, just don't stop
Now check it, me and Blige, remain fly
They mad 'cause they left us for dead, but we ain't died
Fuck 'em
Those things you do to me
Leaves a lasting impression on my heart
There ain't no second best
I've had my wasted times, but no regrets
Let me have you up just a little
Now you're patient with me, got me stuck like a riddle
You get from top to bottom, never rush in the middle
You're never gone too long, but I swear that I miss you
Damn right, I swear that I miss you (miss you)
Since we've been together, I've been countin' seconds with you
Didn't think I need you right here
So used to holdin' it in, but now I'm breathing
And I'm inhalin' deep, boy, I am breathing
You're so much better for me, oh
Feel so brand new
Fresh air, good news, breathing
So much better for me, yeah
I know exes can't breathe (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Blindness, but you and me, we give each other space
I'm always excited to see ya, I never really felt this freedom
I think to myself, "Is this real or can I be dreamin'?"
I think I'm in love
Let me have you up just a little
Now you're patient with me, got me stuck like a riddle
You get from top to bottom, never rush in the middle
You never gone too long, but I swear that I miss you (swear that I miss you)
Damn right, I swear that I miss you (miss you)
Since we've been together, I've been countin' seconds with you
Didn't think I need you right here
So used to holdin' it in, breathing
And I'm inhalin' deep, boy, I am breathing
You're so much better for me, yeah
Feel so brand new
Fresh air, good news, breathing
Something better for me, yeah
